Yes. In the language of TW, this thread was "peak sureshs."

Unfortunately, as Federer returned to No.1, won Wimbledon, and medaled at the Olympics, sureshs began to fall behind in his rivalry against the upcoming Serbian Soundak Logicic. Finally, he declared Roger to be the GOAT and all but retired from trollery. Now, he is but a husk of his former self, or as NadalAgassi would say, a "past his prime sureshs".

Sureshs was the bee's knees during the first decade of the new millenium. Now, we have a weak era with jacksonvile and 6-1,6-3,6-0 and all manner of lesser players picking up the scraps left behind by the greats.

Its not the 5th slam, its the REAL slam. There's no other real slam.

LOL, I love how you continue to fail. Fair trolling mate

P.S - Rafa, injured or not, never made a Cincy final. Ever.

I strung the one he used to win the set 6-0. j/k

I did however, string two finalists racquets, including the woman's champion.

What setup does Tommy Haas have in his stick? Do you happen to know?

I spent the first three days there and saw great matches all over including Tipsarevic get mad during doubles and bat a ball out of court 9. Also, most of the girls could not get a first serve in if their life depended on it. That's all I got right now.

Then that would be Li Na and either Kerber or Djokovic. I assume Kerber?

How old is Federer? He looks to be about 50 years old.

This thread was a fluke by sureshs.

Sureshs is a one-thread wonder. All his other attempts at epic threads have been major failures.
